The purpose of this study was to identify and investigate the expression of aquaporin 2 (AQP2) in the renal tubules of growing piglets fed with different levels of inulin-type fructans. The experiment was performed on five groups of PIC x Penarlan P76 crossbred piglets fed with the following diets: standard diet (control group) and standard diet supplemented with 1% (group I), 2% (group II), and 3% (group III) of water extract of chicory root inulin-type fructans. The animals from the group IV were fed with standard diet supplemented with 4% dried chicory roots. To analyze immunolocalization and expression of AQP2 …
